Lin Chenran looked at Old Wei with firm eyes and said seriously, "Old Wei, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
He paused, then continued, "Sometimes, we must have the courage and resolve to draw the sword. If we keep hiding everything away, we'll only embolden others and fail to deter hostile forces."
